As an in-house designer I deal with this kind of stuff everyday. For some unknown reason EVERY person at a company has input on design when they should all be putting their 2 cents in about the sales departments. I love that people who have the lease knowledge on it are the ones that have the most to say.
I wish all clients were so, that when they were looking for a designer, they search for talent, experience, quality, not for price at the cost of quality. Unfortunately many designers today call themselves as such and disrepute the profession.
Be careful when working with a "creative officer". They will suck every little bit of your creative soul. Police are officers. Government officials. Not creatives. Ugh.
? Here is how the line will go. Clients should stop being cheap and pay Designer what they supposed to get paid. You get what you paid honey. When you see a bad design, dig in and you will find: Hurry up i need this now, now now now. I only have this amount of $ but I want a million dollar design and don't expect a design in 24 when you know it is a Project that takes a few days. Stay away from those reality TV shows that everything is done in 1hr. It is TV dum dum
@fuduzan5562 You know nothing of visual communication if you believe this. Yes, a lot of graphic designers are morons but when done right we can communicate more than your geek computer brain could ever comprehend.
She looks like she is one who gets angry very easily over the silliest of things. I don't know why I felt that within 2 secs of seeing and hearing her talk.
Hi, not that I'm jealous. But to have this kind of speach you have amazing graphics, and looks like that your problem solver, didn't do his job. If you need my help please visit websuperstudio . com
Wow...giving advice on design work when your video looks like it was built in Windows Movie Maker? Practice what you preach, or shut this channel down....it's embarrassing.
Theres a LOT of jealous people on here it bewilders me, I think oyu lovely Maria and wish you every success and happiness, you have worked hard and deserve it, all the best
To be completely fair to Maria, who seems a bit out of her element here, the Hot Studio (I just checked it out) is a pretty on-the-ball agency. Further, I think her point gets a bit lost in what's a hokey graphical presentation by AB. And it is true, some designers are not creative problem solvers, but those tend to be Jr. Designers. So for any biz people watching, don't be a low-baller and employ seasoned talent if you want results!
This video wouldn't have made me cry if, after she said make sure to be careful, she followed it up with something along the lines of "like we didn't"
I don't "collaborate" with my plumber. I don't tell the plumber how to do his job. i don't give advice, tips, or suggestions to my plumber. i don't try to nickel and dime cheap labor from my plumber.
I stand back, shut up, and let the pro fix the plumbing. That's why the plumber is there...because I don't know jackshit about plumbing.
The fact is, there are a lot of terrible designers out who will only listen to the client, yes that's right, they only listen to the client. Designers are under appreciated by the common client,& almost 70% of the clients that work with us think that they can do what we do, but, YOU CANNOT! I will not tell a heart surgeon how to fix my heart, just the same as you should not tell a designer how to fix their design. Last thing, go to a designer for his style, not because u want to change it.
Oh please who are you? Perhaps you should think of learning how to become a professional speaker, now wait why don't you just go back to working as a checker at Safeway (sorry Safeway checkers).
yeah and graphic designers, please watch out for those who think they know how to solve the problems and more creative than us. Well if you think you're better why wouldn't you just do it yourself? Lets me tell you something, there are millions ways crappy clients like you drive talented designers insane with your stupidity with no artistic sense.
@karutodeyara "there are millions ways crappy clients like you drive talented designers insane with your stupidity with no artistic sense." That's why I do graphic design work for myself for the most part. It gives you practice and you have creative freedom.
Yeah, sure lady, except the fact that it's not the graphic designer's fault if their client is an idiot who has no idea what he/she's talking about. No sir, in fact, I CANNOT make your logo bigger (without ruining the composition), nor can I give it "the essence of orange, because my son likes that color".
Oh yes, just what we need. More idiots with input on how to do our job. Maybe we can sit in a circle, hold hands, and review your Microsoft Word markup together.
Yeah, find a designer that can solve problems that you can't solve for yourself- then get out of their way.
If you've done a good enough job of explaining your needs up front, you shouldn't expect or need to have a whole lot of fundamental input during the design process.
Don't be anxious to get involved and try to see yourself in the design. You're the not a professional designer. Trust your hiring ability, not your art directing ability.
usually a designer has got a portfolio and you should base your choice on it. If it's not enough, check his/her CV and call the clients he/she worked for. And Stop posting this TOTALLY USELESS VIDEOS. Totally useless. One star.
I couldn't help but think "hey, they neglected to hire a designer for their brand and cover page to this video". I mean, if they can't find a "creative problem-solver" themselves, why listen to any of their so-called advice? The answer comes down to money. No one wants to hire designers any more that think. That costs money.
You needed to hire a designer in the first place to stop this video from looking like the piece of crap that it is... And try a script writer while ur at it... And maybe a speech therapist.
You should find a designer that is a creative problem solver. Since you are obviously not being that you are talking about hiring one, why the need to collaborate??? JFC
The success of these tips is demonstrated in the sleek classiness of the logo they use themselves. Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure Paul Rand designed it...
@bouncingsoul100 hmm, i know what you mean. like they make a statement in the tone of a question kinda treating you like the red headed step child so to speack.
No its just sounds like they arent sure of what they are saying - like you have to agree with them eg . the ice cream van is putside ..is a statement but many americans make it sound like a question --- know what i mean ?
Obviously she has great taste in hiring design professionals, seeing as her background is made of giant neon-colored beach balls paired with a bouquet of orange-tipped yellow roses, accentuated by her purple and green blouse.... what the hell, lady!
Where does Maria get these golden nuggets of valuable information from? I'm in total disbelief, I thought the best graphic designers to hire would be people with no social skills, creativity, or problem-solving abilities.
Be careful when hiring a video designer and interviewee. It's about having someone you can trust, people who won't give you a bland template intro, stock backgrounds in set design and a talking head that won't seem like she can't actually talk.
Being a Graphic Designer, my advice is "be careful when watching silly, time-wasting video clips". Talk about stating the bleeding obvious! Classic US chat-show style drivel.
Err maybe businesses should be more careful about putting videos on youtube in an effort to appear more professional but due to the wooden presenter, fluffed line and set designed by an eight year old achieve the exact opposite!
dudette just tell him/her wat you are looking for, let him/her go work her/his magic have them show u a rough and then tell him or her wat changes u want if any. Not that hard if you guys communicate to begin with.
so gomissmo even if ur making these huge award winning brands it doesnt serve any purpose but money sprinkler systems water based floor heating drainage water washing without us ud not have any time to be a graphics designer fool dont talk so lowly of things You dont have any skills of when you yourself diss your clients
As a designer... I find this hilarious! I couldn't stop laughing. Well, I'm glad she found a designer she could work with. 'Cause that's what's important.... not the actual skill of the designer and respecting that.
Yes...and graphic designers LOVE to be compared to plumbers. Creating award-winning brands (which this woman has obviously never worked with, based on her set)...is very much like unclogging a toilet.
THIS IS A DESIGN company who did this video? Now, THAT is a problem!
yes... and plumbers LOVE to be compared to graphic designers as much pretty graphics you could make if it wherent for us pepole whouldnt have a drainage system and your extra cargo whouldnt magicaly go away itd just be laying on your floor in your graphic designer apartment :)
@farstadman his point is that being plumber isn't as professional as graphic design is. it takes more schooling and education and it pays more. That's his point. The same way that architects get payed more than a graphic designer in most cases.
You can tell she knows what she's talking about, just look how well art directed the set is,a nice beach-ball and flowers motif really helps sell "sound business advice."
what a crock. why would anyone listen to this when you fluff line 3 to camera (in a 35 second piece), yet don't shoot another take? You have understood nothing about what design is.
Being a graphic designer myself I take great pride in my work and my clientele. Yes, relationship is key. Designers are problems solvers and idea communicators. In fact it is graphic designers who need to "be careful" of small businesses and their mentality of getting a job done for little or no money! A designer always wants the best result there's no "ego" (royalsteven) but pride + reputation for both parties at stake and any client who can not see that won't get the result they paid for.
Everything around you is designed. You make most of your choices balanced between value and image. BUT designers are not artists - their job is to communicate the client's viewpoint and often - yes - designers get precious when they are challenged or have to change something.
I would go as far as claiming that society can't breathe without design. Think of it EVERYTHING is design. Iventions, Architecture, websites, books, photography, letters, we package things. We drink from a cup, we live in a house, we eat from a plate, we package things to keep it good, we wear clothes, we drive in cars...get my point? We can't live in a world without nothing in it!
What a waste of bandwidth. Who has a creative collaboration with their plumber for god's sake?! Not the first to say it, but anyone who goes public with that logo has no business commenting on anything to do with design. Idiots.
beach balls ? ? ..people think fun! think accessability! think goodness! thank god i don't work for these people. i wish this were satire. i wonder where they're based.
obviously she hasn't chosen a good graphic designer. anyone can whip up to letters and put an oval shape over them. takes 2 seconds, pay me 1000 for that much work thanks [=
I believe that a true graphic designer is always an artist. Not a mediocre person who finds solutions for a client. Remember that artists are special human beings. NOT MACHINES>
I agree that a good designer is just that, but a GREAT designer is some one who is both designer and artist and can make effective use of both talents without letting the "Artist" side override the "Designer" side too much but still creates things that not only meet, but exceed the client's expectations.
Graphic Designers are a dime a dozen, but Graphic Artists are the next link
Very enjoyable thank you

Yes...and graphic designers LOVE to be compared to plumbers. Creating award-winning brands (which this woman has obviously never worked with, based on her set)...is very much like unclogging a toilet.
THIS IS A DESIGN company who did this video? Now, THAT is a problem!

@farstadman his point is that being plumber isn't as professional as graphic design is. it takes more schooling and education and it pays more. That's his point. The same way that architects get payed more than a graphic designer in most cases.

You can tell she knows what she's talking about, just look how well art directed the set is,a nice beach-ball and flowers motif really helps sell "sound business advice."

what a crock. why would anyone listen to this when you fluff line 3 to camera (in a 35 second piece), yet don't shoot another take? You have understood nothing about what design is.
with respect.

Being a graphic designer myself I take great pride in my work and my clientele. Yes, relationship is key. Designers are problems solvers and idea communicators. In fact it is graphic designers who need to "be careful" of small businesses and their mentality of getting a job done for little or no money! A designer always wants the best result there's no "ego" (royalsteven) but pride + reputation for both parties at stake and any client who can not see that won't get the result they paid for.

Everything around you is designed. You make most of your choices balanced between value and image. BUT designers are not artists - their job is to communicate the client's viewpoint and often - yes - designers get precious when they are challenged or have to change something.

It's true, in general photographers are more friendly and have less ego then graphic designer :)

I would go as far as claiming that society can't breathe without design. Think of it EVERYTHING is design. Iventions, Architecture, websites, books, photography, letters, we package things. We drink from a cup, we live in a house, we eat from a plate, we package things to keep it good, we wear clothes, we drive in cars...get my point? We can't live in a world without nothing in it!

LoL 50 seconds of nonsence.
At least the last few words made sence.
Designers are problem solvers. I'm sure when people want a decorator they hire a decorator, or an artist...

What a waste of bandwidth. Who has a creative collaboration with their plumber for god's sake?! Not the first to say it, but anyone who goes public with that logo has no business commenting on anything to do with design. Idiots.

Shouldn't you be careful when hiring anyone?
Or when it comes to babysitting you're not too fussy?
When getting your teeth fixed you just ask a guy in the street?
When selling your house the vicar will do it?
What a very silly comment.

I believe that a true graphic designer is always an artist. Not a mediocre person who finds solutions for a client. Remember that artists are special human beings. NOT MACHINES>

I agree that a good designer is just that, but a GREAT designer is some one who is both designer and artist and can make effective use of both talents without letting the "Artist" side override the "Designer" side too much but still creates things that not only meet, but exceed the client's expectations.
Graphic Designers are a dime a dozen, but Graphic Artists are the next link
